"Hello, Mr. Shen."

"Yeah. Ah, thank you. Phew..."

"Can you tell me about your commission? Do you want us to find someone?"

"Well, yes, it's just to find someone. The kind that involves asking a god to come over to you, or calling on spirits... that's about it. I haven't been able to find anyone using ordinary methods, so I can only think of this method. To be honest, you are not me The first one I found. Hmm..."

"Please tell me specifically what happened. Who you were looking for and why."

"It's a relative, a relative of my family. It should be a distant relative... My parents can't tell the specific relationship... I'm thinking about how to call it... um... that is, my grandfather's grandfather, he has a brother , his brother's son recognized a godson, and the godson's son married into that person's granddaughter, and gave birth to a child, who was adopted as his son. This one was different in generations, and was related to several families... roughly. That’s what it’s called. I don’t know what it’s called. He sends New Year’s cards to our family every day, and I bring them along with him.”

Rustling, rustling...

“The greeting cards are addressed differently every year?”

"Yes, that's the trouble. He travels out every year during the Chinese New Year. Our family doesn't know where he lives."

"With a name and entry and exit records, we should be able to find this person quickly."

"The entry and exit records are useless. The name on his ID card is not Xiao Ying. Didn't I just say that he was adopted? That's not the name on the ID card. He later recognized his ancestors and returned to the clan, uh... it was that kind of thing... at that time It must have been a big deal. He wrote "Xiao Ying" when he sent greeting cards. My parents don't remember his real name. He is also very old... In June of this year, our family received a gift. When the things he sent arrived..."

Rustling, rustling...

Click.

"This is it."

"Is this a deposit slip?"

"Yes, for bearer deposits in foreign banks, you can withdraw money with this list, a total of three million... This is really... our family tried every means to find it for this. Ha... I always used to Fantasy, you should understand it, right? It’s that kind of story. A rich distant relative died suddenly, and I became the sole heir... It really happened, this money... is too heavy... We want to pay it back , can’t find him.”

"He has passed away?"

"Maybe...Actually, we're not sure. There's no lawyer here. Something was sent...just an envelope with this piece of paper stuffed inside, and there wasn't even a sender's address. There was only his name on the envelope. We I asked a lawyer and consulted with someone. This deposit slip can really withdraw the money... Our whole family is a little uneasy."

"You said before that you have already asked our colleagues to find this Xiao Ying."

"They are all liars. Either they pretend to be Xiao Ying, or they say that Xiao Ying is dead and he gave it to us. There is also a liar who is very brave, pretending to be Xiao Ying and asking me to give him the deposit slip. It's really …”

"Is your commission to find this Xiao Ying?"

"right."

"Mr. Shen, I am telling the truth, please don't mind."

"Oh, you say."

"When it comes to finding someone, it's more appropriate to use normal means."

"Um?"

"It's similar to detective methods. Check his ID card, check his entry and exit records, check his bank account opening information. The huge sum of three million is probably a bank transfer..."

"But, we don't know his real name."

"These postcards record his movements. After sorting them out, and adding bank information, we should be able to find the only qualified candidate. His name on the ID card is Shen, right?"

"It should be... My dad said that when he registered his family, he had already adopted an adopted child. Not long after that, the two families had a quarrel. Later, when the old man passed away, there was another quarrel at the funeral. I really remember the name. It's amazing. They called him either the in-law, or the successor, or... the third child, or... oh, the fifth child! I don't know how he was ranked. Yes. No, it's Xiao Wu, it should be Xiao Wu. They don't call him that directly, it's the old man above. That's it. He is not close to our family. ...In other words, they would inform each other about some important matters. My father only met him once, when his family had an affair. I heard that their family was having trouble again. Get up, how's it going?"

"Are there any relatives who are close to them?"

"No more. We don't know how old he is. The old man who called him Xiaowuzi has passed away. The younger generation below, just my dad and his generation, can't tell clearly. We don't know what his nickname is."

"In addition to your family, does he have any other relatives in contact?"

"Every family receives New Year's cards. He has been sending them for more than ten years...no, decades. It's been a long time. That's all our family can find now. Our family has never moved. Some relatives I moved but didn’t receive it. That’s pretty much the case. We don’t know if anyone else has received such a deposit slip.”

"Yes. I understand. Our investigation idea is still what I told you just now. We will start with conventional methods and screen those who meet the requirements. If this method does not work, we will think of other methods."

"Isn't it okay to summon spirits?"

"Invoking souls requires a medium. In addition, summoning souls is very risky. You have no idea about the specific situation of Xiao Ying, what kind of person he is, and whether he is dead or alive."

"this……"

"Mr. Shen, I don't know what the person you were looking for told you before. The worst case scenario I can think of is that he died, was brutally murdered, and had a grudge. He turned into an evil ghost, and we turned him into a ghost. Come on. Can you imagine what that would be like?"

"Hmm...probably..."

"In this case, the risk is borne by us and you. In the other case, if he is still alive and is summoned, the risk is borne by him. I think you don't want to see this situation, right?"

"Yeah. Of course."

"Then let me confirm with you again. You don't know his real name. There is a high chance that his real name is Shen. He sends New Year's cards to your family from all over the world every year. In June of this year, he gave your family a New Year's card. Huge deposit slip.”

"That's right."

"He should be a male. You don't know the specific age. Do you know his approximate age? He is from the 1950s, or..."
